Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Sleep is one of the main components of the continuity of circadian rhythm. It restores energy and enhancement, memory. Sleep disturbances and short sleep duration are important risk factors for many diseases. Nutrition is one of the main determinants of health status in many diseases related to inflammation. Especially the night meal, known as the foods consumed before bedtime, has a strong effect on sleep. Although there are methodological differences, most studies show that unhealthy eating habits are associated with short sleep duration. It is thought that consuming foods with high tryptophan and melatonin content can reduce sleep problems. This study will give a chance to observe the effects of nutrients on sleep and appetite mechanisms.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: eating banana for 6 weeks before bedtime
Participants will consume 1 portion of banana (gross 80-85 g) given to them for 6 weeks, approximately 45 minutes-1 hour before bedtime.
Behavioral: Banana arm
Venous blood samples will be taken from the participants in 3 groups before starting the study. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index will be applied.Food consumption frequency and food-based follow-up will be carried out.Participants will consume 1 portion of banana (gross 80-85 g) given to them for 6 weeks, approximately 45 minutes-1 hour before bedtime. The frequency of food consumption will be taken from the participants each week.
Experimental: drinking milk for 6 weeks before bedtime
Participants will consume 200 ml of whole milk given to them for 6 weeks, approximately 45 minutes-1 hour before bedtime.
Behavioral: Milk arm
Venous blood samples will be taken from the participants in 3 groups before starting the study. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index will be applied. Food consumption frequency and food-based follow-up will be carried out. Participants will consume 200 ml of whole milk given to them for 6 weeks, approximately 45 minutes-1 hour before bedtime. The frequency of food consumption will be taken from the participants each week.
Experimental: Control
Not making any changes in diet
Behavioral: No intervention
Venous blood samples will be taken from the participants in 3 groups before starting the study. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index will be applied. The frequency of food consumption will be taken from the participants each week.Participants are expected not to make any changes in their diet. As in other groups, the frequency of food consumption will be taken from the participants every week in this group. In order to observe the possible changes in the experimental arms, the individuals in the control arm will be asked not to consume bananas and whole milk after 16:00 and they will be informed about this.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
